Creek Chubs as bait?

[ratherbe]

Caught a few chubs in the SB a week or so ago when fishing with my little girl. Considered using them as bait but wasnt sure on the regs so let it be. Is it kosher to keep minnows from the trout fisheries?

It's imperative that you 1.) release all creek chub and 2.) tell me where you caught them so I can assess their population.

Not sure about the legality , but they are great bait, so I've been told!

[Lard Almighty]

Baitfish regs are on page 31 of the Digest. Chubs are classified as a baitfish, daily limit is 35.

[Delawareriver]

Any legal species caught can be used as bait. I've used live trour, sunfish, perch, bullhead, crappies, as well as suckers and creek chubs. Game fish have to be caught with a rod and reel, must meet minimal size limit and you can't keep more then your creel limit. Bait fish such as creek chubs also have a creel limit bit have additional methods of being caught

i think there used to be a rule about keeping creek chubs from trout stocked streams during times closed for stocking...i don't feel like looking it up right now but check the regs
